Hi Erlikhan,
Here is the transcription. My interpretation of the number 97 in the middle is that it is the number of the Janissary regiment which Salih/Salah Ağa was a member. This is of course only my opinion, alternatives are also possible.

Best,

Zifir

Dom and Zifir thank you very much. Zifir, is "janissary cemaat" what you read under the number 97 ?

No,
Dom's reading is correct. But from the earlier examples I saw, the number next to an owner usually refers to the janissary regiment that the owner was a member. His military title as Ağa also refers to this connection.
